Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is about a young man named Charlie Bucket who wins one of five golden tickets and gets to tour Mr. Wonka’s Chocolate Factory that is full of secrets. Charlie is a very poor boy who lives in a small cottage with his parents and both sets of grandparents. Charlie and his Grandpa Joe go to the factory along with the four other children that won a golden ticket. All of the other children disobey Mr. Wonka and end up with something crazy wrong with them. At the end of the book, Charlie is rewarded for being so good by learning that when he is old enough he gets to take over Mr. Wonka’s Chocolate Factory! Charlie is ecstatic and his whole family, once impoverished, gets to move into the magnificent factory! This book teaches children that the kids that break the rules will be punished, but the kids that behave and are respectful get grand rewards. This book allows kids to learn a valuable lesson in a very exciting and crazy way. It is also a very good book to read because there is a movie based off of the book!
